Ablative therapies have recently emerged as an alternate to the gold-standard liver resection in treatment of malignant liver tumors. These modalities include radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation which utilize thermocoagulative energy and microwave energy, respectively, to create a complete necrosis zone encircling the lesion. In this review,

In this paper, we formulate a geometric nonlinear theory of the mechanics of accreting–ablating bodies. This is a generalization of the theory of accretion mechanics of Sozio & Yavari (Sozio & Yavari 2019 J. Nonlinear Sci. 29 , 1813–1863 (doi:10.1007/s00332-019-09531-w)).

Early Repolarization Syndrome: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach
An early repolarization pattern can be observed in 1% up to 13% of the overall population. Whereas, this pattern was associated with a benign outcome for many years, several more recent studies demonstrated an association between early repolarization and

Picosecond Laser Ablation of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs): Comparative Study of Neat and Blended Material Response [PDF]
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have emerged as a promising biodegradable and biocompatible material for scaffold manufacturing in the tissue engineering field and food packaging. Surface modification is usually required to improve cell biocompatibility and/

Single exponential decay waveform; a synergistic combination of electroporation and electrolysis (E2) for tissue ablation. [PDF]
BackgroundElectrolytic ablation and electroporation based ablation are minimally invasive, non-thermal surgical technologies that employ electrical currents and electric fields to ablate undesirable cells in a volume of tissue.

Characterization of Atrial Septal Defect Occluders by right and left atrial pull-out forces
Occluders made of the shape memory alloy Nitinol are commonly used to close Atrial Septal Defects (ASD). Until now, standard parameters are missing defining the mechanical properties of these implants.

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.
